If you don't have a driver's license issued in Mexico, then it's likely you'll need to acquire an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence to be able to rent a car. Please also consider that if you do need an IDP, it won't be valid on its own. You'll need to show your current driver's license your passport and other forms of identification as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card you used to book the rental matches the name on your license and passport. A few other things to note for international car rentals are:

• Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or over in most countries to rent a car. If you're younger, it might still be possible to rent a car but you'll have to pay a Young Driver's Surcharge. Additional restrictions may also apply to the types of cars you can rent.
• Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you drive off the lot. Usually, you can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or on certain types of rugged terrain with a rental car.
